Platinum-selling singer, songwriter, and Gen Z pop king, Conan Gray is marking the beginning of a new era with his new single, “Never Ending Song” via Republic Records. The infinitely catchy new track is powered up by bright and bold neon synths, updating eighties New Romantic vibes with 21st century style and spirit with production courtesy of the legendary Max Martin. Watch the accompanying music video now below.
About “Never Ending Song,” Conan commented, “It’s about a tale as old as time and something we’ve all gone through, which is a painful tumultuous relationship that just never seems to die no matter how many times you kill it. The story just drags on and on. Maybe that’s by design, or maybe you secretly don’t want it to ever end. I’ve always enjoyed disguising my sadness inside of upbeat music. It’s how I’ve handled life. I never like to take myself too seriously—life is painful enough as is,” he laughs.
“I wanted to make something that felt like a true reflection of who I am these days,” he leaves off. “It felt like a celebration of emotions rather than mourning them. It’s beautiful that we get to grow and change together. ‘Never Ending Song’ is the beginning of a story.”
On the iconic music video he added, “I wanted the “Never Ending Song” music video to be the example of what we all wish we could do when our favorite song comes on. You’re snapped into your own little world, where suddenly everything feels like a music video. Your walk falls into the beat, your outfit feels a little cooler— you just want to sing along. I’ve had so many moments in life where I’ve been at a grocery store, in school, anywhere in public and just desperately wanted to break into a full blown lip-sync dance break, but couldn’t. “Never Ending Song” is that kind of song.”
Teasing the new single and era, mysterious posters have been spotted across the globe with a cryptic message directing to foodheavengrocery.com. There you will find a subtle nod to the official music video asking fans to take a night shift for Conan.
